The Four Bottles

The Four Bottles, the Chickens, and the 10 Big Poes
Bottles can be used to hold potions, faeries, ghosts, blue fire, etc. EXTREMELY useful.

Bottle #1: Win Talon's chicken game at Lon Lon Ranch after waking Talon at Hyrule Castle. He will give you a bottle with some Lon Lon Milk in it. To make it easier, first throw all the regular chickens in the corner at the bottom of the stairs before starting.

Bottle #2: Gather all the chickens at Kakariko Village and put them in the Chicken Woman's pen. Talk to her to get the bottle. See the Chickens section below.

Bottle #3: Found by diving in Lake Hylia after gaining the Silver Scale to dive deeper. Has a note in it. Give the note to the Zora King to use the bottle for something else.

Bottle #4: Given to you from the Poe trader at the entrance to the Market as adult Link. Bring him 10 Big Poes and he'll give you the bottle. See the Poes section below.

Finding the Chickens:

There are 7 chickens to find in Kakariko village. Here are their locations and how to get to them.

Right near the entrance to the village.

Right near the chicken woman's pen

On the path up to the North part of town, where the guard and Death Mountain are.

Behind a fence next to the rich cursed family's door. Float over with another chicken, then throw both chickens over the ledge and then take them each to the pen.

In the fenced off area in the Northeast part of town. This one's tricky. Get a chicken and go up the steps by the chicken pen. Now aim slantwise and run and jump off aiming for the corner of the small fence on the ledge. This may take a few tries but you can get over. If you can't seem to make it another thing to try is throwing the chicken at the last second and grabbing the edge of the fence. You can also try getting to the roof of the house with the guy sitting on it and dropping down the other side. Get up there by climbing up the very high lookout tower, facing the construction site, then holding Z and tapping left+A to side jump over the side and grab onto the fence. Now once you're over throw the chicken back over the fence (if you used one), then grab this chicken and throw it over too. Then hop over the fence and bring it to the pen.

Do the same as chicken 5, except this time after floating over and throwing the chicken back, climb up the ladder to the ledge where the windmill is. You should find the chicken somewhere up there.

As you enter the town the first house on your left, with a red roof, has a crate next to its wall. Smash open the crate by doing a roll attack. (Push A while running toward the crate. You'll have to time it right.) The chicken is inside the crate.

Finding the Big Poes: The Big Poes only appear in Hyrule Field as Adult Link while riding Epona. Don't get them confused with regular poes, which appear when you aren't riding Epona. You'll know a Big Poe because they fly away instead of attacking you, and it will say it's a Big Poe when you put it in a bottle. Catch them by shooting them with 2 arrows then walking up to their remains. Make sure you have an empty bottle. If you figure out exactly where you have to be to make a Poe appear (try slowly walking with Epona around an area where you saw a big poe and stop as soon as you hear it), you can just wait there and the poe will keep reappearing in the same spot, in the direction Epona is facing, every 10 seconds or so. There are 10 Big Poes to find and capture to bring to the Poe Trader, who is at the entrance to Hyrule Castle.

Middle right of Hyrule Field near a gray boulder South from the Kokiri Forest entrance

Top right of Hyrule Field near an overhang by Zora's River overlooking the entrance to Kakariko Village. Try backing up Epona onto the overhang and the poe should appear in front of you.

Center right of Hyrule Field along a brick wall East of Lon Lon Ranch. Ride close to the outside of the wall and it should appear when you hit the corner.

Center of Hyrule Field in front of Hyrule Castle, near a sign pointing to Lon Lon Ranch

Middle left of Hyrule Field, on a triangular section of grass to the Southwest of where the paths leading into Gerudo Valley cross, right next to the outer wall of Hyrule Field.

Middle left of Hyrule Field near a lone tree just barely North of the paths leading into Gerudo Valley.

Top left of Hyrule Field, near a stream that's coming out of the West side of Hyrule Castle, next to one of the bushes there.

Bottom right of Hyrule Field near a green tree and a patch of high grass (the kind you can cut with your sword). Ride through or stand in the middle of the patch of high grass.

Bottom right of Hyrule Field near a rock in a grove of brown trees. The grove is right next to the green tree from Poe #9. Stand or ride past the tree that's just to the Southeast of the rock. Note: Top right, middle right, etc. refer to where to look on the Hyrule Field map. So top right is actually Northeast.
